Things to do before you get to Madison
Keep your travel documents and academic documents in your cabin baggage. Be sure to have your passport, I-20, admission/offer letter, funding letter (if any) on person. Make sure you have your host's address, phone number, contact person's phone number and some loose change (at least $5.00 in 25 cents) for making phone calls. Keep phone numbers of friends and the IGSA contact persons handy. You would have already received an email regarding course registration. Enroll for at least one course in order to get your UW identity card when you come here. Do not worry too much about the courses you register for initially. Usually you can add and drop courses till the end of the first week of classes.
